A:AnswerThe screen will always stay lit unless you turn the screen timeout on and to zero brightness. Mine is programmed to timeout after a minute or so and will go completely dark until touched.
A:Answeryou do need a common wire which does power the unit. if your old thermostat uses battery your common wire still maybe ran if not they give you very detailed instructions and videos on how to make it work.

A:AnswerHello Dale! Good news! The Honeywell Smart Thermostat does offer a safety net in the case that the Wi-Fi connection to the thermostat is lost. When the connectivity is lost, the thermostat will revert back to the last setting. For example, if the heating is set to 70 degrees F, then the thermostat will remain at this temperature setpoint until manually changed at the thermostat or the Wi-Fi connection is re-established. I hope this is what you are looking for. Thank you.
